Just as a proof of concept. I'm certain that if the Hyatt and Millennium Hilton are going for ~150, one can get one of the boutique hotels in, say, Chelsea/MSG/ESB for 125.

It describes how to take multiple bites at the apple, so to speak, on Priceline. You can tailor this idea to your own specs.
edit2: and this is a list of the priceline hotels in NY (find NYC and see the lists for each zone with star levels). Google the hotels and see what falls into your acceptable range, and go with god.
